With the popularity of dual tournaments, it has increased dramatically the number of matches wrestled. By the book, a forfeit in a dual is counted as a win, whereas a bye in an individually bracketed tournament is not. Also, if an individual defaults out of a tournament, his injury match would count as a loss as well as the next, if the first loss does not eliminate him from a consolation bracket. Both wrestlers against him would have wins recorded, but a head to head win would not fly in a seeding meeting with the no contest. The injury loss would. A wrestler receiving a win by injury default, etc would pick up two points advancement and two points bonus on the championship side, and one point advancement and two points bonus on the consolation side. I hope that helps. It can get confusing. Also, according to the "book" after all wrestlers are seeded, byes should be drawn. Byes should NOT automatically go to the one and two wrestlers, for example. It deprives them of wrestling and picking up bonus for pin, tech fall, etc.
